OFW, a tall (6'5"), thin man, had discovered sf when he found a copy of Amazing while moving into a new house, and fandom found him when Maurice Z. Ingher, the editor of science Fiction Digest noted his letter-writing activity and sent him an issue.

After the Chicon, Wiggins and several other fans formed the Colorado Fantasy Society. By the late 40s he was still attending the CFS, but was no longer very active and soon gafiated becoming completely inactive by the late 40s.
